This is the result of a SNAP recipient data match with Social Security. Social Security receives incarceration information from prisons, jails, other penal institutions or correctional facilities, certain mental health institutions and various third parties, including media sources. SSA maintains this data to identify SNAP clients who ‘are currently’ or ‘have been incarcerated.
Not every prison, jail or penal institution participates in this data exchange. So the SSA gets what they get. They may get old data; incomplete data; even bad data. The local office should attempt to determine if the individual listed on the report is indeed incarcerated and take the appropriate action. The G1DX report will show only those records that have a valid “confinement date, that is two years old or less.
- We will not display any person who has a confinement date that is over 24 months from the current date.
- We will not display any person where the time between confinement date and release is 30 days or less.
You may access the incarceration date by typing PRS (space) SSN, the SSN being the one on the G1DX result.
It will produce a detail screen with the dates of incarceration.
